I know this bounced around on tumblr before, but it has been re-edited and reworked almost to the point of being an entirely new work.

“Our primary device is [photo]montage…[but] we do not neglect Construction. Ours are eye-catching posters which, one might say, are designed to shock. We deal with the material in a free manner… disregarding actual proportions…turning figures upside-down; in short, we employ everything that can make a busy passerby stop in their tracks.”

Streets of Bedlam, final week!
So, for the last month and a half, I’ve been drawing criminals and punks and thugs and harlots and bad cops for a little something called Streets of Bedlam. You may have seen the links to it or the art I’ve been posting.
Well, there’s only one week to go in the game’s Kickstarter!
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/669629655/streets-of-bedlam-a-savage-world-of-crime-corrupti
Now, we’ve long passed the goal to make this baby, but you should still give us money, and here’s why:
1: I’m drawing the thing! Even if you don’t play tabletop RPGs, if you like cool art and film noir and sexy heroes and grim dames, you should kick in at the $25 level so you get a physical copy of the book. Then you can show it off to your friends. ”Hey my buddy Shawn drew this thing, check it out!”
2: It’s an awesome neo-noir setting for Savage Worlds! Those of you who do like to throw funny dice around probably already know Savage Worlds is awesome. If you just want to have a copy of the PDF to add to your gaming collection or so you can run a game for your friends, you should pitch in at the $10 level.
3: You get to be in the book! Everyone who kicks in at least $5 will get a mention as a cop, criminal, or other personage around Bedlam in the book. We’ll choose who you end up as, but if you’ve always thought it would be cool to be immortalized as a mobster or crooked cop or dirty hobo, you should pledge at least $5. For $100, we’ll make you a major character in the setting. Corrupt Mayor Chris Barnhart, with his stylish mustache and penchant for dirty jokes and cadre of sexy bodygaurds? Done, complete with stats and possibly an adventure where the PCs try to kill you!
4: You’re supporting independant art and games! Without something like Kickstarter, this woud likely never have gotten made. If you like cool creative people making cool creative stuff without boring people in suits deciding if they should have the money to make it, you should throw us some cash! Like I said, we’re already making this, but more money goes to future supplements and other cool stuff.
So. You’ve got a week. After that you’ll have to wait until April to buy a copy like the rest of the shlubs. Join us, won’t you?

This illustration makes me feel like I could train a platypus to beg for treats…they’d probably stab me with their venomous leg-spikes. Well, the males, at least.
